Cover Story (view full-size image):
There is a well-established relationship between different subsets of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs, myositis) and interstitial lung disease (ILD), with lung complications sometimes presenting prior to myopathic manifestations. The subtypes of myositis include those that are strongly associated with ILD. Research has shown that in certain patients, these can then be further divided into subtypes using myositis-specific antibodies (MSAs), which are specific for myositis, and myositis-associated antibodies (MAAs), which can be found in myositis in overlap syndromes with other connective tissue diseases (CTDs). The aim of this review is to highlight the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, important histopathologic, laboratory, and radiographic features, and treatment modalities for those patients with myositis-associated ILD.
